April 2005 - Animal Radio contest winner
I discovered BEST FRIENDS animal sanctuary a few years ago and have been in love with it ever since. You
must take a look at their website and the affiliate nationally syndicated radio station, AnimalRadio. This is an organization on 15 acres of donated land in Kahob, Utah, that has been lovingly and brilliantly transformed into a kind of Disneyland for abandoned animals, from cats and dogs to all kinds of wildlife.
I recently did a radio interview with Hal Abrams from AnimalRadio.com, (check him out, he’s great) During the interview we set up a contest for listeners to send in photos of their pets to compete for a pet portrait of mine. Of all the truly adorable photos that came in, Scamp won and is now immortalized for his owner, Kara Schonrank .
